Climb the corner to a large earthy ledge. The continuation corner is quite hard to start; finish by moving left under a small yew to a ledge below a larger tree equipped with an abseil point.

Superb route. Bit prickly getting onto the ledge and a once there a tad unwilling to leave it behind

First half is a joy. Polished & tricky to get off the halfway ledge - 5a? - tho maybe I'm not used to this style of climbing.... recommended.

Better than Klute I thought. I laid back on final crack without bridging on the coner, better and harder that way.

cunningly little deep pocket is pretty critical on the right hand side of the crux groove - used it for hand, then knee, then foot!

Ev led the route, I seconded, Colin then followed. A good climb, wouldn't have been able to have led it myself though...
